One of the fun parts about working in house is the challenge of shaking up your brand. Got to play with some fun illustrations and bold colors for this latest project. I helped with creating a run of show, creating a design direction for the keynote, and then in charge of the slide production…

This week I gave a talk about story structures. Having never really given talk about something other than my portfolio standing on a stage in front of slides was pretty nerve-racking. That said I'm a strong believer in doing the things that scare you because that is what allows you to grow. While my comfort is absolutely being behind the slides it was great to experience standing in front of them. If anything its provided me with a better understanding of what it's like to be on the other side of a process that I work with every day.

I gave a talk to a group of soon to be college design graduates and realized a lot of them had never heard of "presentation design." It certainly wasn't something I had ever thought/heard of while I was in school. However, in the bay area at least it's an in-demand design role and I thought I'd share what I did with these students about getting started in it.
